Our team visited @bdfi.bsky.social to get inspired, dream big and reflect on the future of KWMC! 🤖

We’re so excited to explore how this cutting-edge tech can be shaped with and for local communities... What would you use these facilities for? 👀

A lively gathering at the Foundations for the Future exhibition, with a group celebrating in front of a wall showcasing community projects and learning initiatives. Two people chat at an exhibition, one holding a booklet titled Foundations for the Future, surrounded by displays about data and public engagement. A person reads a booklet in front of an exhibition display featuring creative community projects and text about reimagining high streets. A seated audience watches a film screening in a dimly lit exhibition space, with a large projected image of two people in protective gear painting a building.
